[quote=Anonymous]I find taking care of all 3 of my kids at once way more less fun than 2 at a time.  They're currently 2 / 4 / 6yos and their needs are just too different.  The 2yo needs close watching out of the house which upsets the 4 and 6yos that I can't play with them (or focus on the museum activity or whatever) the way they want.  Or i'll try to play games with them at the playground and the 2yo will start sobbing that I'm moving too fast and he can't keep up with us.

my point isn't that kids need to be parented this way.  my point is that its the part of parenting i enjoy and its made it much more difficult.  same with things like reading to each kid at bedtime and giving them their own special 1:1 time or doing a project thats their interests and skill.  all of it is so much harder.  when you have 3 your job increasingly becomes manager of their needs verus able to have fun with them.  think about what type of parenting you enjoy and how it would be impacted by having another kid in another stage to take care of.
